Kaleidoscope Dream




Welcome to my tutorial for a simple frame
with no outside filters. *S*

This was done in psp 7 but can easily be done in V8.

This is a simple frame with no outside filters
but I have few or no screen shots with my tutorials
. I also have learned that trying is the best way to learn yourself. *S*
